Mysterious green and blue flashes were seen by witnesses in Mexico City after it was rocked by a magnitude 8.2 earthquake.

The powerful quake set off a tsunami warning for at least eight countries – and at least six people have been confirmed dead in the most powerful quake to strike the country for 100 years.

A video of the earthquake lights was captured by a witness – capturing a strange, little-understood phenomenon.

I expect other west coast fault activity ranging from Juneau on down. (due to recent massive sun spot activity).

Piezo-electric response, similar to crunching a Wintergreen LifeSaver in the dark?

To me, being from an electric utility background, that looks like faults on the distribution system feeders reflected on the low altitude clouds. The blue-green color would be consistent with what I have often observed.

This is what I believe was observed, and I am sticking to my analysis.

The last two earthquakes in our area produced this greenish light for some of us to see and some not to see. This has happened at night.

If it is a quake with the long rolling action versus bam, the ground will often roll like a wave. This sometimes creates static electricity, which some of us see. I saw it, my nephew saw it and one son and his son saw it. Some neighbors saw it and some in the same household didn’t.

An adult friend of our grown sons was a CHP Pilot, and he and his co pilot were up during one of the rolling quakes.

He saw the light clearly as the ground rolled along below the copter. His co pilot never saw it. They argued about who was blind or seeing things, until they found out seeing the light was selective from person to person.
